Jarvis really loves his friend BoomBoom the cat. Really loves her. So much he wants to eat her tail. Which he did about three seconds after I took this.
Fortunately she's a very very strange cat who doesn't really care if her fur gets pulled out/ears get tugged on/tail is eaten. She just lies there with this ambivalent expression on her face, purring like a lawnmower. Jarvis on the other hand lights up whenever he sees her. I have a feeling she loves him too, she just doesn't want to spoil her tough cat image...
At 3.30 this morning Jarvis had a long & involved conversation with the moon. He had woken for a feed at 3, happily been tucked back into his cot, and after lying there for a couple of minutes gazing around the room, started his conversation.
The full moon was on Sunday, so the moon is still nice & big & round, and last night's clear sky meant that around 3.30am the vineyard was completely lit up...and our somewhat dodgy venetian blinds couldn't stop the silver light sneaking into the bedroom.
What on earth could Jarvis & the Moon be discussing at 3.30 in the morning?
- Maybe they were discussing the tides, and how a rock in the sky can control so much water
- Maybe he was asking why it's so very hard to sleep when the moon is full?
- Maybe he was getting a bit of first hand knowledge about the moon & how it helps things grow (Hey, the kid lives in the middle of a biodynamic vineyard. It's to be expected!)
- Maybe he was thanking the moon for making everything look so silvery & pretty
Whatever it was, he was chattering away for about forty five minutes, giggling and laughing, blowing bubbles, then he said goodnight, let out a big sigh, and fell asleep again...
Two cats, guarding the fireplace. Not often you'll see them side by side, very strange indeed...
Such marvellous shundies! All blue & stripey & soft... Jarvis is practising some yoga moves here.
Slightly fuzzy photo, but the expression on this child is just superb...What on earth is going through his mind?
I've always called Jarvis my bunny...so when we were in Manawatu we figured we should get a picture of him in Bunnythorpe. Just for entertainment. It was really really bright so not the best pics (that's why we're not looking at the camera!), he's dressed in his favourite beagle boys pjs...
